JoAnn fabric, or other such places sell a blue marking pen that is water soluble. I use it to mark off every 10 stitches and mark each box a,b,c,d on the vertical and 1,2,3,4, on the horizontal etc. After stitching a color in I generally color in on the pattern sheet to show what has been done. Use a very light color, so as to not block out the symbol color or shape. Most patterns are to small to see well on large projects, so I blow them up on my printer scanner. Hope this helps someone.  |

I enlarge graphs and then mark each stitch with highlighter pens using different colours it should look like stitching done it works for me anyway.

| I also use highlighters on my done stitches. But if I have a pattern of my own design I re-use, I cold-laminate it, then use white-board pens on that. I just wipe it clean to re-use. |
